The Guillotine Guard - A new form of Guard Control

Guillotine Guard Excerpt 2 - The Reverse Triangle Choke from Arm De La Riva - YouTube

The Guillotine Guard is a new form of Guard Control that can be used from a variety of positions in No-Gi & MMA. It is a ver powerful control that will give you solid sumissions and good transitions into other strong positions. In my opinion once it is looked it is one of the strongest forms of guard control.

Ees not normal?

Later

I was thinking about this thread in the other thread about never trying to attempt a guillotine choke from guard in competition. The guillotine choke seems to be an all-are-nothing submission. Anyone think the guillotine guard will catch on?

I don’t know Lloyd, the French are assholes.

I’d be amazed if it dose.
I’d be glad to be wrong.

We use the Guillotine Guard for a couple of month and it is a staple of my guard work if my opponent is on his knees. It is not the only guard I use but a big part of what I do.

Ususally it is either 2 on 1 to side guard or Guillotine Guard or I switch from one to another.

Once the 100% Control is in it is very easy to sweep or transition into other moves. I am pretty sure you will see this Guard in MMA too.

I can’t comment too much with the limited footage but my issue is " how hard is it to get to that position when the opponent is defending with forearm on biceps or elbow to ribcage “.
It’s the getting to that position where the devil lies in the details.
It’s like saying " I have a new guard position, I just spin them upside down and have a fully locked in RNC with hooks in, no can defence.”

No position is easy to get but I would say the basic 100% control is easier to get than a full guillotine since you don´t have to go around his neck with your whole arm.

Basically it is the first part of a 100% sweep which is used quite a bit. The difference lies in the direction you turn after you get that arm position. With the 100% sweep you try to turn him over which can sometimes be hard. With the Guillotine Guard you turn to the other direction to open up the path to the double underhooks.

Hopwe that helps.
